It all started when Ian, who was looking for an easy-going girl who doesn't take herself too seriously, met Olivia, a not so easy-going girl from the East Coast, who was looking for someone to bully full-time with her love.

We met how many couples do post-COVID—on Hinge, a dating app. Swiping endlessly, looking for someone who is at least... normal? Luckily, we discovered each other and are happy to say, our suspicions were correct, neither of us are normal.

We clinked glasses for the first time at 33 Acres Brewing and began the slow burn of falling in love. We had a second date and a third and just kept wanting to be together. The more we learned about one another, the more being together felt like home.

We have travelled together, grown together, moved in together and found the love and partnership we have been looking for our whole lives. Now we are so excited to celebrate our engagement with you—our friends and family.
